Before adding the shredded sweet potato, I squeezed some liquid out of it. The first time I didn't and the muffins took extra long to cook. They are delicious and I love how moist they are. I also didn't add the walnuts...added semi-sweet chocolate chips.

I added 1/2 cup milk, left out the allspice (didn't have any), and used dried cranberries instead of raisins. It WAS a little heavy, but not unbearably so, and my picky 12 year old thought they were great.

I followed the recipe to the "T",..and they tasted exactly like sweet potato pie. No need to change anything.

This recipe was great! They kind of taste like pumpkin with a kick. I first diced and boiled the sweet potatoes and then mashed them by hand. I omitted the allspice and nutmeg, added a little clove powder instead, and tripled the cinnamon. I also kept out the raisins and walnuts due to personal taste. The muffins were very heavy which I ended up liking because then I only eat one (even though my mouth wants more!)

My hubby said that these were the best muffins he has ever had! I really enjoyed making the recipe. I ran out of walnuts so added a half cup of almonds to make up for the loss. So tasty and moist, and the cooking times were accurate for me. I had more batter than expected, so after filling 12 muffin cups to the brim I used a mini loaf pan and used up the rest. the mini loaf took an extra five minutes in the oven but it came out beautiful! Thanks for such a great recipe, this will be a new staple in my house.

I made half the recipe, used 2 cups of leftover Sweet Potato cassarole then added the nuts, raisins and 1/2 cup fresh cranberries. Topped with a struessel made of 2 T melted butter, Cinnamon, Brown sugar and oatmeal. Took about 27 mins in the oven. It's a dense muffin and even the 2YO declaired it was a good muffin. Great w a glass of OJ! This might be our new Black Friday tradition.

These were delicious. I used some leftover sweet potatoes, about 5 small ones. I mashed them a bit with my mixer and then add the WET ingredients, mixing again on low speed. I then added the wet to the dry and mixed again. I did add 1/2 c milk (soy milk) to thin the batter a little. I did not add walnuts or raisins, as we're not big fans here. I then filled the muffin cups about 2/3 full, getting 18 muffins out of it. I baked them for 20 minutes. My whole family thought they were wonderful.

These are delicious, but I think I messed up somehow because they are more like hockey pucks than muffins: squat and dense (but MUCH tastier). Still worthy of 4 stars though_ they're that good! I think the problem is that I tried to conserve energy by baking a quiche at the same time so the oven was too moist. Baked for 65 minutes and the center still resembles mashed potato. Any suggestions? I would definitely like to try again and post an update!
